I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Early the next day.

The first thing Akabane did after getting up was to open the system panel.

1058 points!

Exchange for Half-Immortal Physique - Chakra Enhancement.

The chakra of the Uzumaki clan is far, far stronger than that of ordinary people.

As soon as Akabane made the exchange, his chakra surged instantly.

To be honest, he didn't have a lot of chakra before, but after the exchange, the chakra in his body increased by almost one or two times, as if the gate of rest had been opened and the gate of opening had been opened in an instant.

A few seconds passed...

He was panting heavily, and his body was covered in cold sweat.

The surge in chakra didn't feel pleasant; in fact, it was somewhat painful.

Akabane got up and took a shower.

Then, he left a clone at home and made him work overtime to catch up on his work.

I promised to submit the manuscript tomorrow, so I can't delay any longer.

When he got downstairs, Akabane noticed that Kiyotsuki was looking at him strangely.

"Brother, what you just did..."

"Shh! Secret!"

Akabane smiled slightly, and the fluctuation and increase in chakra naturally could not escape the notice of Kiyotsuki, who had an extremely high level of perception.

"Ah."

Xiao Qingyue nodded quickly, and the cat puppet on her shoulder made a thumbs-up gesture.

Her puppet manipulation skills are becoming increasingly sophisticated!

With such talent, it seems impossible for her not to be a ninja.

Akabane sighed inwardly.

When breakfast was served, Kurama Chiaki approached the table and asked while eating, "Do you have anything planned for today?"

"Hmm... You can arrange your own time. Why?"

Akabane was somewhat puzzled.

Kurama Chiaki rarely interfered with his daily activities, and this was the first time he had been asked such a question.

"The Hyuga clan sent an invitation this morning."

Kurama Chiaki said.

"what?"

Akabane was taken aback. Didn't Hinata Kazuhiko invite a group of people yesterday?

He paused for a moment, then remembered—last night's party, ruined by his clone, could hardly be considered a success.

“If you don’t want to go, I’ll have the clan arrange it for you.”

Kurama Chiaki said.

"Let someone go in my place. The Hyuga clan probably wants to win us over."

After answering, Akabane ate a few bites of breakfast, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "I felt that I couldn't offend them, but I also couldn't get too close to them, so I ruined the party yesterday."

He didn't say it was a shadow clone, and took the blame for himself.

"Well, I will explain all this to the clan chief."

Kurama Chiaki nodded, clearly understanding why the Hyuga clan wanted to win them over.

After the Chunin Exams, the performances of the nine participants have gradually spread throughout the village.

Three were directly promoted to Chunin, the rest also performed quite well, and there's the network of relationships formed behind the nine of them...

That's understandable.

After finishing his meal, Akabane prepared to go out and have some fun.

After thinking it over, he originally planned to go to Orochimaru's place, but as soon as he stepped out the door, Xiao Qingyue chased after him: "Brother, wait for me!"

"what happened?"

Akabane turned his head suspiciously.

"I haven't hung out with you guys in a long time. I want to go to the Senju area."

She said timidly.

"No problem, Konoha is very safe, but remember to come back soon."

Akabane didn't take it to heart and just said it casually.

“Akaba, how can you be so insensible? Kiyotsuki just arrived, how could she possibly know the way around Konoha?”

Upon hearing this, Kurama Saki angrily came out of the house.

Akabane paused for a moment.

How could such a highly sensitive humanoid radar get lost?

"Besides, Lord Mito has been so kind to you. It's understandable that you were busy yesterday, but shouldn't you go and visit him today?"

Kurama Saki continued to scold.

Headache!

Akabane scratched his head. He hadn't planned to go to the Senju clan because he wanted to avoid Tsunade for the time being.

Looking back now, it seems there was no way to avoid it.

"Brother, I..."

"No problem, I'll show you the way. Then you can go find your friends by yourself later."

Akabane patted her head, then straightened up.

Xiao Qingyue quickly followed, with the small puppet cat perched on her shoulder.

From the moment she got it, she was practically ten steps away from it.

Stepping out of the Kurama clan, her red hair was particularly eye-catching.

As they walked from that direction, many passersby frequently turned their heads back.

After a long while, Akabane led her to the Senju clan's encampment.

"The Senju clan's territory is just ahead. Once you go inside..."

Akabane crouched down to point the way, and if he could avoid it, he would run away immediately after pointing the way.

Although the beating she received yesterday was physical, the pain and memories it evoked were enough to demonstrate Tsunade's anger and ferocity.

"Brother, are you avoiding Tsunade?"

Xiao Qingyue said astutely.

Akabane's expression stiffened slightly, and he immediately said, "How could that be? Tsunade and I have a very good relationship."

"Oh, no wonder."

Xiao Qingyue gave him a wink, as if hinting at something.

Akabane paused for a moment, then patted her hand to indicate that he understood.

It seems Tsunade was lying in ambush nearby...

How insidious!

He secretly complained to himself.

If he had just turned to leave, he would probably have been caught on the spot, not to mention the consequences.

"Hmph, you're wrong. I don't get along with him at all."

Tsunade said angrily, "You didn't even take me with you when you ran away yesterday, you just sneaked off with Orochimaru!"

"Ahem, I still need to pay my respects to Lady Mito. Let's talk as we walk."

Akabane changed the subject and led Kiyotsuki forward.

"If you hadn't come today, Grandma probably would have sent me to get you."

Tsunade said.

"Huh? Why?"

"It seems to be related to your comics, but I don't know the specifics."

Even Tsunade, who was closest to Mito Uzumaki, couldn't fathom her thoughts.

Akabane pondered for a moment and decided to leave it alone for the time being.

Anyway, whether you stick your neck out or not, you'll get stabbed anyway, so just grit your teeth and go for it.

He walked into the yard and saw Mito Uzumaki lying leisurely inside, with seven comic books next to her that caught his eye.

She brought out all the comics.

what's the situation?

"You little brat, you actually know how to come see me?"

Mito Uzumaki's tone was calm, yet carried an unusual air of irritability.

"Yesterday was a bit busy, so..."

"You've only drawn one book after so long in the Land of Wind, have you been slacking off again! Also, such a fun technique as Virtual Illusion, you still haven't let me experience it?"

Mito Uzumaki suddenly sat up, looking annoyed.

Chapter 142 No drawing? Lock me in the dark room!

Nani?

Akabane was stunned. He thought Akabane was angry about something, but it turned out he hadn't played the game.

Not only him, but Tsunade and Kiyote were also confused.

At this moment, Mito Uzumaki noticed Kiyotei, her expression suddenly changed, and she returned to her gentle and refined demeanor, smiling kindly and beckoning: "Child, come here, come here!"

"Mother-in-law..."

Xiao Qingyue leaned closer, showing no shyness in front of Uzumaki Mito, who also had red hair.

"Oh! Is that a puppet on your shoulder?"

Mito Uzumaki teased him.

"Yes, it's a gift my brother brought back for me."

As the little girl spoke, she flicked her finger, and the cat puppet raised its left hand, waving at Mito Uzumaki.

Mito Uzumaki picked her up, teasing and praising her endlessly, and soon the little girl became increasingly close to her.

Tsunade, standing to the side, felt the warmth of Akabane's home.

After a moment...

"Tsunade, take Qingyue to play with them."

Mito Uzumaki kindly put her down, and also sent Tsunade away.

"Yes."

Tsunade readily agreed, then beckoned to Xiao Qingyue and led her out of the courtyard.

Akabane sat upright.

He sensed that Mito Uzumaki had more to say than just those things, and that's why he sent Tsunade away.

Mito Uzumaki put the manga aside, lay back in her chair and rocked back and forth. After a while, she said, "Akaba, I read all the manga you've been working on lately today."
